I've probably shared this story, but a million years ago I met Hiba and Heidi at Sundance while we waited in line for Matthew Perry. We were in that line ALL DAY (
and by all day, I mean ALL day). We sacrificed untold amounts of celebrities for the chance to get a picture with Matthew Perry and he never even showed up to the movie. Fail. Of course, totally worth it to get to know my girls, but a sad Matthew Perry day for sure.

Flash forward to today (
aka his Day of Redemption for being a no-show to the premiere) when I was sitting outside waiting for my movie to start and who should I see? Matthew Perry, thankyouverymuch (
well, duh, what would be the point of the previous story otherwise?). On another side note, he hosted a benefit last weekend that I wanted to go to, but it was at a private residence and I thought showing up outside when he arrived might creep him out. As a fellow collector told me, "He does it, but he's already a little weird about it. The location might put him over the edge." She was right. Waiting was the right move. She was also right about his being a little weird. I actually thought he was going to say no and I'd have to beg and plead, but he said, "Yeah" in a "Yeah, OK, fine" type voice and then made the, um, interesting face above. Oh, well. In every other picture I've seen him take with a fan, his face is always the same. Weird. How does he do that? He's such a good looking guy otherwise.

As you may recall, Jenna Fischer shot me down for a picture at the Oscars. Yes, that's right - legions of bigger name stars said yes, but Pam from
The Office was too cool, which really sucked considering I'm a big fan of her show. Flash forward a month and the word on the street is that her husband had written a play which she produced and while at the play she was on good behavior. Several friends already had pictures taken (
after trying for years to get it and always being shut down) and I knew if I wanted a shot with her I'd have to do the same and brave the play. I actually went a few weeks ago, but she wasn't there, so I had to return tonight before the play ends tomorrow. I'm glad I did! Picture success! Redemption for Jenna! See, there's always hope (
hear that Dane? Nancy?). I'm happy to give people second chances....especially since now that I have her picture, I'm done. No need for repeats, I'll never bother her again. Oh, she did appreciate my Ricky Schroder necklace, though. Then again, who wouldn't? :)
